Description
Vitalis is tall and lean, with hair as black as pitch, some who knew his father look twice to be certain he isn't his father. Though what Valerio carried as stern, Vitalis carries as intensity. His smile lights up his face with a boyish charm, driving all chill from his demeanor. Though Vitalis practices an economy of movement, when excited by something he gives into expansive gestures - rather like a one man play. In contrast, he can be still as stone, elusive as smoke. Healed scars cross his face, temple to opposite jaw, the rake of talons or claws, that highlight gray eyes so intent they might strike sparks.
Personality
Vitalis is one of those rare few who finds himself at home in just about any situation. On the road, travelling with strangers from all walks of life, or rubbing elbows with the highest of Peers in a courtly setting, he adapts himself effortlessly. He is friendly and energetic, but not, and this is important, naive. In fact, Vitalis is rather a shrewd judge of character.
Background
When Vitalis was still very young, his mother was murdered. He does not remember much of her, though sometimes he catches whiff of a floral scent that stirs some faint emotion within him that he associates with the maternal. He knows the story of her passing, and he knows how much her loss hurt his father, but Vitalis never felt lonely. Perhaps because of her death, and perhaps because he was also one of the youngest Mazetti, his relatives were quick to fill the void. It was his grandmother Clemenza, in particular, that awoke in a young Vitalis a thirst for knowledge and a love of the mysterious.
From his father, Vitalis realized that adventure was to be lived outside the pages of books. So while he pursued his studies, he never once took umbrage at being sent into the countryside to patrol. Eventually, he began to organize his own expeditions, ranging off to explore this or that local ruin. When still young, Vitalis treated with several local tribes of Abandoned, securing passage rights and even, in one spectacular case, saving a chieftain's son and so found himself named a blood-brother.
In Summer of 1009, his father Valerio Mazetti died defending Lord Arik Halfshav. That death brought Vitalis from his beloved Ostria to Arx. In the intervening years he distinguished himself as a field scholar, teacher, and scout. In the Spring of 1013, he became Vitalis Clement, securing an alliance with the new Oathland house, expected to steer the rough and rustic Clements through uncertain political waters.
His future is in Duskshire, but his heart will always be full Ostria's wonders. Its ancient walls painted with unblinking eyes, its shifting streets, hidden gardens, grand port, gleaming bank, open shrines. The enigmatic architecture of the seaside city lit the spark of his curiosity and love of the mysterious; Ostria is a riddle he will happily never solve. For the rest... every door untried might as well be locked, right?
